MINOR MATTERS.

Mr.. Fairchild to Succeed Secretary Manning
MIR. Jordan's Vacant Chair.
WASHINGTON, March 26.-It is now regarded
as settled that Assistant Secretary Fairchild
will succeed Mr.. Manning as Secretary of tho
Treasury, and that his appointment win be off,
cially announced the latter part of next week
Solicitor McCue and Comptroller Maynard are
spoken Of as possible successors Of Mr.. Farchild
as assistant secretary. The former, however, is
said to prefer the new circuit judgship in New
York city. and the latter is understood to prefer
his present position. In the event that Corpora.
ton Counsel Lacombe, of New York. should re-
ceive the circuit judgeship, it is believed that
Mr. McCue would accept the assistant secretary
ship. Third Auditor Williams and Chief Clerk
Youmans are also said to be aspirants to that
office.
Nothing has yet been settled in regard to the
treasurership. Mr. Jordan's resignation has not
yet been accepted. and while ne requested the
President to relieve him Of the duties and re-
sponsbities of the Office about the 3rd of April,
it is thought he would consent to retain the posi-
ton while longer if the President desired.
The chances. are however, that the President
will be able to select his successor before the
the date specified by Mr.. Jordan. 1t is said that
the President desires to select new Treasurer
from the West.

CINCINNATI, March 26-At a late hour last
night Senator Sherman decided to remain in
Cincinnati until Sunday morning. The princi-
pal reason for his stay was desire to give what
he could in aid OF his friend Amor Smith, the
Republican candidate for Mayor. 1t was limited
that the Union Labor party was making strong
fight during the present municipal campaign,
and the Senator resolved to stay and convince
the qualified voters of this city that
the Republican party is the true friend
Of the laborer. and ever watchful
of his interests. Such was the theme OF the
speech he delivered to an audience tonight that
comfortably filled Turner Hall. He started out
by saying that he always thought it was the
duty of the public man to give all he could to
the interests of his country de then spoke of
his trip through the Southern States and his
visit to Cuba. Referring to national affairs, he
dwelt upon the subject of protection to American
industry, and the monetary system of the Re-
publican party, as compared with that of the
Democratic party. Getting down to local mat

The Most Complete Turning Over Known in
the History of the Government
Special to the indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, March 6-The Democratic
papers and Democratic leaders throughout the
country especially those who are opposed to the
policy of President Cleveland. have asserted that
Democrat has no chance for political prefer
ment at the present time, and that Republicans
are continued in Office in spite of the fact that so
many hungry Democrats are crying for places.
Your correspondent has taken some pains to as
certain the truth of this charge. In many cases
the chiefs of the departments have been unwil-
ing or unable to give the desired data upon which
to base an estimate of these changes, but in the
departments of State and Justice the books have
been thrown open, and the result will surprise
those dsgruntled men who think that no one but
Republican can have an Office under the pres
ent administration. Under the State Depart
ment there are something less than
four hundred and fifty positions
in the consular service Since Mr..
Cleveland was inaugurated there have been four
hundred and FIVE removals in this service, three
deaths, and eighteen designations. OF the four
| hundred and thirty-one consuls and commercial
| agents appointed in the past two years. only fif-
teen were reappointments. 1t will thus be seen
| that the changes have been made about as rap
| idly as was possible under any circumstances.
/ In the Department of Justice there have been
four hundred and forty-two appointments to fill
| vacancies created by one hundred and forty -four
suspensions, one hundred and four resguati ons
| and eleven deaths. Out OF this total only thir
| ty- nine were reappointed
The other departments of the government
will show up equally WELL It is estimated thai
of the fifty-three thousand postmasters in the
country there have been changes in the cases o.
about forty five thousand. At no other period
of the history of the government has there beer
such complete turning over in the personnel O
| the officers.

Moscow which came within hairs breadth OF
success, and which sent all concerned in it. ex-
cept the chief actor. to the scaffold.
It is curious to see how these Terrorist con-
spirators. who find refuge on this side of the At
lantic after their desperate adventures. are lost
in the general mass and fall into the ways OF the
country. The author Of the Moscow plot just
referred to, for example, has struck the lines OF
fortune as an inventor, and one OF his recent
contracts is for the supply Of banking institu-
tons with an ingenious invention that is very
serviceable indeed. He is a misunderstanding,
taciturn, practical man. who has become natur-
allied, and is as full of American politics as he
once was OF Russian conspiracies. Another OF
these conspirators, who played his part In q
Terrorist plot that shook the Cars palace OF
Peter and Paul. is now busy in New York as an
electrician, and the complicated apparatus that
fills his quarters reminds you OF Edisons work
shops at Menlo Park. Yet another Terrorist.
formerly belonging to the Russian artillery, who
was an actor in the same plot recently left this
city for far Western State, where he is engaged
as mining engineer Among the other mem
bers Of the Russian Terrorist circle now here, one
is a writer, another a doctor, third minister,
while several are engaged in ordinary business
pursuits. Few of the people who know them,
or have dealings with them, are aware OF thelr
antecedents, about which they themselves are al
ways silent, both on account Of the prejudlces
they would encounter and by the danger to
which they believe they subject. Upon the
head Of at least one Of them large price is set
and few OF them ever get rid of the idea that
they are under the surveillance of Russian spies.
1t will be remembered that when Mr.. Blaine was
Secretary of State demand was made upon
him for the delivery of Leo Hartman, who fled
from this city to escape arrest. According to
recent dispatches from ST. Petersburg, the Ter
rorist suspected OF being the author Of the latest
dynamite plot against the Gar was that Degaieff,
who, three years ago, after the execution OF
Colonel Sudeikin, is believed to have found a
hiding place in New York.

Empire State Politics Disturbed by the In
PRODUCTION of the Issue.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
NEW YORK. March 26-Poitics in this State
are quite torn to pieces by the sudden issue of
high license for the liquor trade, to which the
passage of the Crosby bill in the Legislature has
seemed to array the two parties for and against
the measure. The feeling here is that such d.
vision must not be allowed to stand. Most of the
Republican leaders are elated to have their party
take up the temperance question by establishing
high license. because they feel that it will
make great gain and small loss for the party.
But the influential Democrats are not CORE
spondingly disposed to range their organization
against high license Every Democratic daily
Newspaper in this city favored the bill. Mayor
Hewitt, by reason of his Office and character the
most influential Democra. in New York
city, said to your correspondent:
''The Democratic party cannot afford
to be-, and doesn't wish to be, the party
of the bar.room. If ever the dealers in rum get
under popular vote they will be crushed so fat
that they will feel like pancake Decent peo-
pie are Of various opinions to temperance,
from prohibition to entire freedom, but you will
have to hunt far and long for any sympathy
with the rum-sellers outside of the traffic. 1t
would be suicide for any party to champion the
bar -room.n That is the view of most of tine
Democratic politicians OF the higher grade,
though generally less emphatically expressed.
The impression is that the policy of diversion
will be pursued High license will not be fur
Their opposed, particularly as the new law applies
only to distilled beverages, leaving beer and
wine under low license; but both the County
Democracy and Tammany will make point of
protecting the more respectable portion of the
drink business and attacking the disreputable
